Madrid (Spain), 15 Sep. (LaPresse) – Morocco has sent a letter to several MEPs just as the European Parliament is debating the crisis in Ceuta and preparing to vote on a resolution. In the text, reported by Spanish TV station RTVE, Rabat pledges to readmit all migrants who entered the exclave at the end of July. “Given the exceptional nature, scale, and complexity of this unfortunate situation, Morocco has committed to readmitting all those involved, including Moroccan citizens, unaccompanied minors, and third-country nationals,” Rabat said, claiming it is working to determine “the causes and actors behind this situation,” which includes an investigation into the role of misinformation on social media and the “manipulation of vulnerable people.” by human trafficking networks. In Spain, all political parties except Pedro Sanchez’s PSOE have pointed the finger at Morocco for the mass arrival of migrants in Ceuta. The Spanish leader continues to say, however, that he has not been provided with solid evidence demonstrating the North African country’s responsibility.
